CARBURETERHEATING DEVICE.

To all fui/tom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, WILLIAM J. BIEGEL, a citizen of the United. States, residing at the borough of Bronx, in the city of New York, Bronx county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Irriprovements in Carbnreter-Heatin Devices, of which the following is a speci cation.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in vcarlliureterv heating devices, andpertains more particularlyl to a heating device which is adapted to heat the Ycarbureter bowl from the exterior thereof by being applied over and around the same. The primary object of the invention is to provide a heating device which can be zipplied to :any typo'of bowl without altering or 'in any way modifying the latter. A

Further, the invention aims to provide a heating device which is placed about the exterior of the bowl in. position ready for elec trical connections to be formed so as to supply heat, and to also provide a. device of this type which can be easily and quickly a plied esired purpose.

In the drawing:

Figure 1, is a horizontal sectional vic-w taken through a carburetor bowl and showing1 the present invention applied thereto; an

Fig. 2, is a vertical sectional view on line p 2-2 of Fig. 1.

It will be understood that the invention is designed to be applied to any type of bowl,

, the one depicted in the drawings and indiand bottom thereof 'and cated by referencer numeral l, being of somewhat common form, and provided `vitli the usual valve chamber 2, intake gasclene pi e 3, andpet drain cock 4. lhe invention embodies two arts or sections 5 and 6 which are hinge and which fold around the bowl so as to enable the ready and easy application thereof to the bowl and like removal.

Each section is composed of an inner plate 7 formed with a plurality of perorations 8, so as `to provides foreminous formation. The plates 7 are shaped to conform to that of the bowl so as to engae around the sides ave cut-out parte 9 so as to receive the pet oook 4. VThe sections each have an cuter plate 10, the letter Specification of Letters Patent.

faced with ari'sbcstos or other heat insulating sheet l1, for, the purpose of confining the heat to the bowlaiid to prevent radiation thereof. The two sections 5 and 6 are hinged] connected at 12; at their outer ends, while their inner ends are provided with registering eyes or knuckles 13 adapted to slidably and removably receive a locking in 14, the knuckles and pin boing conformedJ in general shape to that of the adjacent under part of the bowl, as illustrated iii Fig. 2.

For the urpose of heating thc bowl two series of wires lnnd lli are employed, one series for each section, two series being employed due to the hinged connection between the sections. These wires are arranged as shown in Fig. 2, in which the wires are of Ushapc or loop formation and 'connected at the alternate ends of the Us. The ends of the two Wires 15 and 16 are connected to terminal binding posts 17 and 18, and 19 and 20 respectively, suitable connections being made with said binding posts from any source of electrical supply for the iurpose of heating the wires or coils 15 and 1 It will be understood of course that the two sections are differently conformed when the carbureter bowl varies in shape from that illustrated in the resent drawings, the sha pe of the sections eing thus controlled by the shape of the bowl.

From the foregoing it will be thus apparent that in applyin the device, same is simply wrapped aroun the bowl, and the yends of -the-sections are brought together to a position. where the eye or knuckles 13, register following which the pin 14 is slid through the knuckles, thus holding thesections locked against removal. The sections are preferably provided with cutout parts 17', so es to receive the valve chamber 2.

What is claimed is:

1. A carburetor bowl heating device oomposed of a pair of hingedly connected section around the bowl, heating wires in each section between the perforated plates and the asbestos, and a pair of binding posts for each of the wires.

2. A carbureter bowl heating device oomposed of e pair of hingedly connected sections, each section being composed of a pair of spaced plates conformed'to the shape of the bowl so as to engage around and beneath the letter" in close conformation to the contour thereof, said sections being provided with registering eyes adapted to removably receive a locking pin so es to lock the see tions in position around the bowl, and an electric heating wire in each section;
